I'd have to say my biggest leak in my game is BR management/tilting resulting in bad BR management. I start getting a bad run of cards having KK < Ax blah blah blah, that's poker and I need to man up and get over it. I tilt to higher BI MTT's and cash games (which online cash games is definely -EV for me). I've set up guidelines to for myself from this day on.
My BR is sitting at ~$650. Its not a pro/protected bankroll and i seem to do very well in $10+$1 STT so I plan on playing these until i get up to ~$1000 before moving up. If I can't stay honest to myself and stick to this plan, obviously I'm not disciplined enough to try and make poker a major source of income.
GL to all, and wish me luck! I'll keep this updated as often as possible with my results and mental status.
EDIT: This isn't a "turn $xxx into $XXXXX" challenge. This is me simply trying to fix my game and bad habits of poker. I found that venting/talking about what I'm doing, even if no one really even reads this, helps me stay focused and pin point situations that cause me to tilt to higher BI games.
